Baylor dominated TCU in every facet of tonight’s 91-58 win in Fort Worth.

The Bears had one of their best shooting nights in Big 12 play making 53 percent of their two-point shots and a ridiculous 60 percent on three-pointers. Led by Brady Heslip’s eight made shots beyond the arc, the Bears hit a season-high 16 threes.

Combine that with the Baylor’s dominance on the boards and TCU’s 20 second half points and you’ve got one of Baylor’s better Big 12 conference games of the season. The Bears outrebounded the Horned Frogs 45-19 and has as many offensive rebounds as TCU had total rebounds.

One of TCU’s lone bright spots was guard Kyan Anderson. He was the only Frog to shoot more than 50 percent from the field in a season-high 29 point effort. He was also the only player to successfully attack Baylor’s zone. TCU couldn’t knock down any threes (4-14 from deep) so they were forced to attack the zone. Anderson regularly finished at the rim, and even ended up with exactly half of TCU’s total points.

Baylor also got some good news aside from bumping their conference record up to 3-8. Kenny Chery returned to the starting lineup after missing time with a turf toe injury. He had an efficient night scoring three points, dishing out seven assists, hauling in six rebounds and chipping in three steals.

Two of Baylor’s three conference wins have now come against TCU. The Bears have seven games left in the season.

The Bears’ next game will be against Kansas State on Feb. 15. Kansas State is the only Big 12 team Baylor hasn’t played this season.
